A common cause of this condition results from water in the base pan. This may result from a leak in the dishwasher or the drain hose (to the sink drain) backing up. First check the base pan (the very bottom assembly that all other components are mounted within) for any moisture - this can be difficult as there are only narrow openings between the tank and the base pan; a mirror can help or you might have to pull the unit out from the cabinet to access the sides. If there is moisture in the pan this problem must be corrected as the unit is just trying to protect against water damage from a leak. If the base pan assembly is dry, look at the float assembly (behind the water fill valve) as insects or rodents can sometimes interfere with the proper operation of this sensor. That causes the control to think there is a water leak. When this fault occurs everything is turned off and the drain pump runs continuously to eliminate any water from inside the dishwasher.

see this causes and fix it. God bless you
Belt, Water Pump
Although few dishwashers have a water pump
belt, if the dishwasher won't drain there might be a worn or broken
water pump belt. After removing the lower kick panel the motor can be
seen in the front, the water pump belt is on the bottom of the motor.

Drain Pump
If the dishwasher won't drain, the drain pump
might be defective. Test the pump motor with an Ohm meter. Drain pumps
are not repairable, if it's defective it will need to be replaced.

Drain Impeller
The drain impeller is attached to the pump
and pushes the water out of the dishwasher, through the drain tube and
into the garbage disposer or drain line. If the dishwasher won't drain,
the drain impeller might be broken or worn out. Replace both the
impeller and seal at the same time.

Drain Solenoid Kit
If the dishwasher won't drain, the drain
solenoid kit might need to be replaced. The drain solenoid is an
actuator that opens a flap to allow the water to drain. Drain Valve
The drain valve can get clogged with debris
and should be cleaned out if the dishwasher won't drain. If it seems
clear of debris but won't actuate, it will need to be replaced. The
drain valve is not repairable.
Pump and Motor Assembly
If the dishwasher won't drain, the pump and
motor assembly might be defective. If the motor runs during the drain
cycle, check for a blockage in the drain line. If the motor won't run
during the drain cycle or if it just hums when it should be running, the
pump and motor assembly might need to be replaced.

Clogged or Improperly Installed Garbage Disposer
If the dishwasher won't drain and the garbage
disposer was installed recently, the installer might have forgotten to
knock out the drain plug from this disposer. All garbage disposers are
sold with a solid plug in the drain tube for situations where a
dishwasher isn't connected. However, if the dishwasher is connected, the
plug will need to be removed. If the disposer wasn't replaced recently,
remove the dishwasher drain hose from the disposer and clean out both
the fitting on the disposer and the end of the drain hose. These are the
most common places to find an obstruction if the dishwasher won't
drain.

Drain Hose
If the dishwasher won't drain the drain hose
might be clogged. Remove the drain hose from both the dishwasher and the
sink drain to clean it out. The most common place for an obstruction is
at the garbage disposer.

Check Valve
If the dishwasher won't drain the check valve
might be stuck closed. The check valve is a small plastic device which
prevents water from returning to the dishwasher after it has drained. If
the valve gets stuck closed, it will prevent the water from draining.
The check valve is the device that the drain hose is attached to on the
dishwasher
Check Ball
If the dishwasher won't drain the check ball
might be stuck. The check ball is a small plastic ball in the check
valve which prevents water from returning to the dishwasher after it has
drained. If the ball gets stuck, it will prevent the water from
draining also. The check valve is the device that the drain hose is
attached to on the dishwasher.

It is possible that themachine does not start off the cycle because there are errors or feedback fromthe inputs. For the program to start up the main program controller mustinitiate the INLET/PUMP MOTOR/DRAIN to workwhen it is commanded .If this does not happen then the voltage at thesepoints must be checked or the faultrelates to no voltage/drive from the controller. This means the controller is asuspect.Check howto remove the control panel: http://www.espares.co.uk/advice/dishwashers/a/3/1287/how-to-replace-a-hotpoint-dishwasher-fascia-p.html If thewater flows then the flow should be good, if not the inlet valve is bad or thereis dirt in the filter. Also check the flow at the inlet of the water line. Whatis most important for the motor to start functioning is that the door switchmust be ON when the door is shut or this will be an error for starting themotor. The water pressure must be good and the spraying must be seen to begood. If there is low pumping or pressure then the spray arms will not turnaround to inject with pressure. If sothe pump must be checked for clogging.To replacecheck this link:http://www.espares.co.uk/advice/dishwashers/a/3/1293/how-to-replace-the-spraying-system-on-a-dishw.html Finallyafter the wash the drain valve will be activated, the water is allowed to comein to rinse and then finally the drain valve/pump activated so as to drain offall the water.Make surethat a fault in any of the cycle will relate to the specified action, so checkthe command from the program module and then the executing device be it thevalve or motor or pump.

my best advice at this time is do not turn the breaker back on this unit i have been looking at the wiring on this unit and what your saying is happing should in no way be happing i really need your serial to see if its one of the units affected by the recall

Yes tipping the unit on its back at 45 angle for a few minutes worked. However, when the dishwasher was pushed back under the surface the problem re occured. We solved this by altering the feet at the back so that it was just slightly lower at the back and it works fine again. Excellent advice on this page. Has definately saved us a call out fee.
